[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Sorry, Bryce, gotta go with First o' Two on this one. If we're worthless, why would God be so concerned with our well-being? DT: "No establishment, that also means that the US government cannot endorse any one religion. You Christians don't seem to understand that." What the heck are you talking about, now? 'We' Christians? Didn't you say that you believe every single word in the Bible? And why do you say that we don't understand this? I have no desire to force my beliefs on anyone else, and I doubt that anyone else here (besides you, that is) wants to, either. "Although you right wing fanatics wish to remove it, the concept of allowing ten guilty men to go free so that one innocent man does not go to jail is brilliant." Same opening sentance as above. I have no clue what you're talking about. I don't know one conservative who would agree with the idea of sending an innocent man to prison along with ten guilty men. In fact, it sounds more like something you would support. "The good of the many outweighs the good of the one," you know. At least, in your philosophy. "People are so bloody stupid, they would never grasp anything beyond how to buy porn!" Ah, how many times have we heard this from tyrranical monarchs and dictators? I forget. "The people are too stupid to govern themselves. They have to have someone to take care of them." Tell me: what automatically exempts you from this stupidity of the people? This is the root of the difference between conservatism and liberalism. Liberals want the government to have more power over our lives because they think we can't take care of ourselves. Well, that, and they get more power. Conservatives, on the other hand, believe that the people CAN and SHOULD govern themselves. It's like the pope's supposed infalibility. Until he becomes pope, he's just a man, but as soon as he does become pope, he can suddenly do no wrong. It's the same as you and so many others before you have said, DT: all people are stupid, unless they happen to be ruling other people. You seem to think that just because someone disagrees with you, they're an idiot. What makes you so smart that your supposed solution is so good that anyone who doesn't see its merits immediatly has the IQ of a ballpoint pen? "People are worthless and they all should burn in hell! Omega, can you work on that for me?" Is that a reference to our little conversation? You know, the point where you called me a tool of Satan and told me I'd burn in Hell? [/QB][/QUOTE]
